To be fair, they're probably just concerned about public safety, it's got to be hard as hell to drive looking out that little slit in the burqa. |

Interesting. The link I posted was originally to an AP story about King Abdullah granting Saudi women the vote. AP changed the story. Now it is a story about a woman being arrested in Jeddah for driving. I never thought of links being used for multiple stories. Sorta like phone numbers being recycled. |
